Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 425: Lost in the forest ——-2

Zhai Tianyu was still covering his cheek because he felt like he had been consecutively slapped in the face by Liu Hui Ying, he cleared his throat and then said in a soft voice, "It's not that I am not willing to hand you the money but the thing is that I have no money either!

The money that I have is tightly controlled by the Ji family who dominates the finance department and I cannot just ask for money willy-nilly, they will definitely investigate if I was to do that!"

" So? What is the point of you doting on me?" Liu Hui Ying asked with a raise of her brows. " More importantly, how are you going to dote on me?"

" With my love and admiration?" Zhai Tianyu suggested with a cheeky look on his face which caused Liu Hui Ying to sneer so hard that she almost stretched one side of her face as she rolled her eyes and then said, " Do you think that if I was to show your love to the shop owners will he be willing to give me the yellow papers for talismans along with the necessary herbs that I wish to buy? "

" I don't think so…" replied Zhai Tianyu who scratched his cheek a bit embarrassingly. To think that he could not even buy something as simple as yellow papers and herbs for the queen, they were really too poor were they not?

Liu Hui Ying scoffed and then said in an ' I told you so' voice, " Exactly, so tell me who cares about your care? When you are dirt poor?"

Zhai Tianyu was stumped after hearing her reply as he asked in a broken-hearted manner,  " Are you saying that my love is cheap?"

" Yes. It is."

Zhai Tianyu: "..." The bud of my love was declared cheap before it could even bloom!

Zhai Tianyu was angry. No, he was enraged and wanted to scream.

This was why he opened his mouth but as soon as he opened his mouth, the scream which escaped from his lips came out much more shrilly which caused Liu Hui Ying to turn and look at him with confusion in her eyes.

She looked at him from up to down as if trying to gauge whether he was the one who screamed, seeing that Liu Hui Ying was looking at his manhood, Zhai Tianyu's face turned dark—— just because he never used it does not mean he was any less of a man. He glared at her and then spoke in a dark voice, " I was not the one who screamed! Someone else did! There is no way I can scream so shrilly!"

As he spoke he very conveniently forgot how he screamed when Jia Li tried to assault him.

" Oh," Liu Hui Ying did not speak any further and then turned to walk out of the tent, since Zhai Tianyu was not the one who screamed, someone else must have screamed which was why it was necessary for her to take a look at what was going outside, lest someone else escaped—— she will end up owning a zoo!

But Liu Hui Ying seemed to have thought too much as soon as she stepped out along with Zhai Tianyu, she realised that the atmosphere in the hunting ground was rather bleak, she looked around and then her gaze fell on the maid who was kowtowing on the ground in front of Official Qin who was holding a bloodied sword while next to his feet laid the body of another woman.

Liu Hui Ying glanced at the old man who was so furious that the flesh on his face was trembling even the eldest master Qin who was standing behind his father looked really enraged.

Zhai Tianyu did not expect to see such a sight which was why he immediately walked out of the tent when he saw that Official Qin was raising his sword to kill the other maid as well, " Official Qin what is the matter with you? Why are you causing bloodshed in the middle of the hunting grounds?"

When Official Qin heard the voice of Zhai Tianyu he paused and then turned to look at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes as he opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, " My daughter has gone missing your majesty."

Liu Hui Ying who was standing quite a distance away from the three men was able to hear what they were talking about and when she heard that Concubine Qin was gone, she could not help but frown. Did that woman get so annoyed that she ended up throwing a tantrum?

With how stubborn Concubine Qin was Liu Hui Ying thought that it was highly plausible after all, that woman looked like she was rather spoiled and wished to see the world move according to her rhythm.

Even Zhai Tianyu thought the same, he still remembered how he was harassed by Concubine Qin. Among all the concubines, the one who troubled him the most was concubine Qin, and she was also the one who made him waste a lot of his knock-out drug powder and energy as he had to spend quite some time pinching her skin to make it look like something happened when nothing took place.

" Are you sure that she is missing, official Qin?

Maybe she went to take a walk," Zhai Tianyu could not help but say and Official Qin of course understood his meaning, he knew that because of his closeness with Ji Yang, Zhai Tianyu treated his daughter the best after Ji Yu which was why he must be aware of the temper of his daughter but this time Official Qin knew that something was very wrong which was why he could not help but say in a hurried voice,

" I know that your majesty must be thinking that my daughter made a rash action again but I assure you that it is not the case…she left three hours ago and she is yet to come back … I … I am afraid that she ended up getting lost in the forest !"
